Departure procedures: Check-out is no later than 12:00 pm on Sundays. Follow the seven principles of Leave No Trace and Scouting America Outdoor Ethics. Before departing camp, your unit must clean every bathroom/shower used. Employ a method called a police line where Scouts stand side-by-side, within arm's reach of each other. The line systematically walks the entire campsite, inspecting and picking up any trash or debris, and cleaning up campsites effectively. After the police line cleanup, a leader then inspects the campsite to ensure it's clean, undamaged, and all gear and trash are removed. Ashes from campfires should be removed from the fire rings and disposed of in ash barrels next to dumpsters.
